Well that was fast. I’m not sure what I expected.
SV companies and their investors have been actively working to suppress remote work for as long as I can remember. So this move makes sense in theory.
I’ll be curious to see how much turnover this causes. I can’t name a single person I know that ever wants to go back to an office.
I see many comments here waxing about the virtues of forced commute and force colocated work, but it seems more like a cope for personal issues. If you’re relying on your work for friends, social interaction, preventing yourself from distractions, etc. then it sounds like you have personal issues. Issues unrelated to remote work.
- throwawybillion 5y agoI have good friends, but I don't have family. About six months into the pandemic I started having severe panic attacks. Since we've been back in the office part time, my mental health has improved dramatically. Point being that working with good people can be a healthy part of a social life, and saying the people who rely on that have personal issues seems... well, privileged. There is value in having a team working closely with each other, and enjoying that doesn't mean you're broken.
